It's kind of obnoxious to even have to listen to it.

Every president since Thomas Jefferson has believed that the president has the authority to do this from either party.

The question to me, I think, is about the timing, whether or not the time, because every president of our lifetimes has believed that Iran was a was a terrible force in the world and has attacked Iran indirectly, either through proxies or going after allies.

Donald Trump, in typical Trump fashion, walks in and says, you know what?

Actually, I'm not going to fight a proxy.

I'm going to go directly and cut off the head of the snake.

And now I have a lot of like you were saying, Jesse, I have a lot of like I'm very nervous.

I don't I don't like this.

I don't want to be in a war.

I don't want to have boots on the ground.

I don't want to lose soldiers.

But you can't say that that's a wild departure from.

every single president of either party of our lifetimes.

It's not.

He's just being very direct about it.

And I think he's been very clear about what he wants.

And as Pete Hegseth said today, this is not a so-called regime change war, but the regime sure did change.

That's true.

He is.

But the president is very focused on the issue of a nuclear weapon.
